Googling it, it looks to be an ITM Eclypse <BR/><BR/>"A favourite of the peleton, this stem is fashioned in the TIG welded style with 76-degree bend. Polished silver "titanium finish" with ITALMANUBRI name and EC logo. Weight: 250 grams. Available in most popular sizes."<BR/><BR/>Although mine doesnt have any markings on it.<BR/><BR/>http://www.bicyclebuys.com/item/ITMECSTEMPARTJeremy Burlingamehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13265290828696362344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14410979.post-51365752858141843942008-01-14T12:27:00.000-08:002008-01-14T12:27:00.000-08:00I have the same stem on my old lugged Giant, I hav...I have the same stem on my old lugged Giant, I have been wondering what it was. Do you know what material it is? I never hefted it to get a sense of its weight, but the tinge of the metal and the size of the welds suggest Ti. Then I say, no way, it couldn't be Ti....

I have a Flite TT that is in rough shape. I think I'm going to buy some white leather or pleather and recover it. I'll post my results to the site.<BR/><BR/>The bike was a really fun project.
